In the square clos. by is statue 10
Parmeggianino, of seceDt workmanship,
and a drinking fountain. There are but
two or three shoots OF water in Parma,
but even that is more than one can find in
most of these plain towns, and. especially
to the Traveller who has just left Switzer-
land. the loss of running water is great.
No swiss village il 50 mean, no town 50
crowded, but from an unpretending iron
pipe there gushes forth, pelmcid, glitter
ing and Opulent, stream Of the freshest
water, which leaps in a joyous and elastic
curve into basin with a gay flash by
night and 10y day, and pours OFF with un-
grudginS profusiou.
But in these Lombard towns scarcely
here and there can be found numbering

which few minutes severe toll produces
mighty poor and niggard Nribble OF wa
Ter. Where fountains are they prattle
with fatigued and parsimonious mott
and shelter their inadequacy under sonri

modern taste in Italy Is not one whit bet
ter than in England. They delight 10
honor the martyrs and heroes of United
Italy. No town but has its Corso Wit
toriO Emmanuele and its Via Cavour,
with, for the most part, statues of the
same. Here and there is Via Massimo
d'AZeglio with no statue. These works OF
art are not better than our effigies of Mr..
Golden or Sir Robert Peel. and the crown.
